Glad to hear that the dinner service is good. I went to Pedler for brunch a couple of weekends ago, and was not impressed. The kedgeree was good (although the portion could have been larger), but it was a constant struggle to get the attention of the staff and the food and drinks took a good while to come. Which was darkly funny, having been warned upon arrival that we needed to be done with the table after an hour and a half.

Norris and Knight on Forest Hill Road is highly recommended. The homemade carrot-and-beetroot cake with pumpkin seeds and the pork pies are worth a trip on their own. Friendly staff and happy to have dogs out the front or the back; the back yard is lovely and they keep their own chickens there for eggs.
Second the recommendation for Norris and Knight on FHR. Very nice place, good coffee, nice guys that run it and happy chickens in the garden. Re the closed down DIY shop, I heard from the chap there that it's apparently going to be a deli/ice cream shop? Be nice to have some more fresh produce on that strip (though the Turkish supermarket up the road is fab).

On the windows of the old DIY store on FHR it has painted "Potager, coming soon" and various pictures of veg etc.


Would be nice to have somewhere to buy on that strip other than the Co-op. They always have junk on sale by the entrance (discounted crisps / sweets etc.) and after a busy day at work no matter how good my intentions I seem to leave with a bag of stuff I wish I hadn't bought but will hoover up anyway.

Tried two new Peckham places yesterday. First, the pop-up bar by Pedlar people in the railway arches behind Bar Story on Blenheim Grove. They have two arches: one seems a bit canteen like and has a hot dog chap selling his wares; the one next door is more bar like, with a slimmed down range of Pedlar cocktails, wine and beer. All based around the lovely Little Bird Gin. Lovely staff working there although I felt a bit sorry for them as they were clearly freezing! First time I've ever been offered a hot water bottle in a bar before.... Anyway, great place for a drink if you wrap up warm. Open noon - 6 Sat and Sun only.


Second, and after more gin at Rye Wax, we went to Flaming Mangal, the new Turkish ocakbasi place on Rye Lane. This has only been open since Thursday I think. Very very quiet but I guess no one knows it's there yet. It's got loads of seats and was very bright. Bit too bright for me but...staff were again smashing, food was solid (collectively we had variety of starters,shish and veggie dishes) and all left happy and full. Not as good as FM Mangal for me, but perfectly fine and not as far to walk! BYOB too.

    • "They sold everyone, directly or indirectly, on the notion that Covid, the energy crisis and the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with the sorry state of the UK and that it was 14 years of Tory rule and Truss' nightmare budget that was the source of all the country's woes. " This simply isn't true. Global issues all play their own parts (as they do with other countries) but the UK govt had  been especially abject for years. Improvements could not be made with them in power. That's not to say everything is all roses when they go To claim parties shouldn't try and sell themselves in an election is absurd - but if labour did overpromise or dig into specifics (which they partly couldn't because they didn't have their hands on the books) then we live in a country where a population and media is happy to punch on them and relect the shabby last govt I mean if any argument I made was supported by some posters I would rethink it but thats just me
